Limitations and caveats
Findings are limited to the forearm microcirculations, thus other vascular beds including conductance arteries warrant further investigation. Nevertheless, it is known that the contribution of EDHF is less in conductance vessels than in microvessels.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercent Change in Forearm Blood Flow (FBF) After Tetraethylammonium (TEA) AdministrationBaseline, 5 minutes
Simultaneous forearm blood flow (FBF) measurements were obtained in both arms using a dual-channel venous occlusion strain gauge plethysmograph at rest and after administration of tetraethylammonium (TEA). Flow measurements were recorded for approximately 7 seconds, every 15 seconds up to eight times and a mean FBF value was computed. Percent change is the difference from baseline FBF and after TEA administration.
PrimaryPercent Change in Forearm Blood Flow (FBF) After Administration of L-NG-monomethyl Arginine (L-NMMA)Baseline, 5 minutes
Simultaneous forearm blood flow (FBF) measurements were obtained in both arms using a dual-channel venous occlusion strain gauge plethysmograph after administration of L-NG-monomethyl Arginine (L-NMMA). Flow measurements were recorded for approximately 7 seconds, every 15 seconds up to eight times and a mean FBF value was computed. Percent change is the difference in FBF from baseline and after L-NMMA administration.
SecondaryPercent Change in Forearm Blood Flow (FBF) After Administration of L-NG-monomethyl Arginine (L-NMMA) and Tetraethylammonium (TEA)5 minutes, 10 minutes
Simultaneous forearm blood flow (FBF) measurements were obtained in both arms using a dual-channel venous occlusion strain gauge plethysmograph after administration of L-NG-monomethyl Arginine (L-NMMA) and Tetraethylammonium (TEA). Flow measurements were recorded for approximately 7 seconds, every 15 seconds up to eight times and a mean FBF value was computed. Percent change is the difference in FBF from after L-NMMA administration and after TEA administration.
SecondaryPercent Change in Forearm Blood Flow (FBF) After Fluconazole AdministrationBaseline, 5 minutes
Simultaneous forearm blood flow (FBF) measurements were obtained in both arms using a dual-channel venous occlusion strain gauge plethysmograph at rest and after administration of fluconazole. Flow measurements were recorded for approximately 7 seconds, every 15 seconds up to eight times and a mean FBF value was computed. Percent change is the difference from baseline FBF and after fluconazole administration.
SecondaryPercent Change in Forearm Blood Flow (FBF) After L-NG-monomethyl Arginine (L-NMMA) and Fluconazole Administration5 minutes, 10 minutes
Simultaneous forearm blood flow (FBF) measurements were obtained in both arms using a dual-channel venous occlusion strain gauge plethysmograph after L-NMMA administration and administration of fluconazole. Flow measurements were recorded for approximately 7 seconds, every 15 seconds up to eight times and a mean FBF value was computed. Percent change is the difference in FBF after L-NMMA administration and then fluconazole administration.
SecondaryPercent Change in Forearm Blood Flow (FBF) After Fluconazole and Tetraethylammonium (TEA) Administration5 minutes, 10 minutes
Simultaneous forearm blood flow (FBF) measurements were obtained in both arms using a dual-channel venous occlusion strain gauge plethysmograph after administration of fluconazole and Tetraethylammonium (TEA) administration. Flow measurements were recorded for approximately 7 seconds, every 15 seconds up to eight times and a mean FBF value was computed. Percent change is the difference from FBF after fluconazole administration and after Tetraethylammonium (TEA) administration.
SecondaryForearm Blood Flow (FBF) After Sodium Nitroprusside Administration5 minutes
Simultaneous forearm blood flow (FBF) measurements were obtained in both arms using a dual-channel venous occlusion strain gauge plethysmograph after administration of sodium nitroprusside. Flow measurements were recorded for approximately 7 seconds, every 15 seconds up to eight times and a mean FBF value was computed.
SecondaryChange in Tissue Plasminogen Activator (t-PA) ReleaseBaseline, 30 minutes
Individual net t-PA release at each time point were calculated by the following formula: net release = (Cv-CA) x {FBF x \[101-hematocrit/100\]}, where Cv and CA represent the concentration of t-PA in the brachial vein and artery, respectively. Change is the difference of t-PA at baseline and t-PA after bradykinin 400 ng/min
SecondaryChange in Tissue Plasminogen Activator (t-PA) Release After Tetraethylammonium (TEA) and Bradykinin Administration30 minutes, 60 minutes
Individual net t-PA release at each time point were calculated by the following formula: net release = (Cv-CA) x {FBF x \[101-hematocrit/100\]}, where Cv and CA represent the concentration of t-PA in the brachial vein and artery, respectively. Change is the difference of t-PA after Tetraethylammonium (TEA) and t-PA after bradykinin 400 ng/min
SecondaryChange in Tissue Plasminogen Activator (t-PA) Release After Fluconazole and Bradykinin Administration30 minutes, 60 minutes
Individual net t-PA release at each time point were calculated by the following formula: net release = (Cv-CA) x {FBF x \[101-hematocrit/100\]}, where Cv and CA represent the concentration of t-PA in the brachial vein and artery, respectively.
